ABSTRACT
My preferred definition of corporate responsibility is the following: Being a responsible company means never having to say you’re sorry. OK, I admit, I have lifted this somewhat distorted definition from the movie Love Story. But it seems apt given that, as a responsible individual, you should lead your operations in a way that means you never need to feel remorse for your actions or behaviour. When you are a leader of a company, this means you should never regret the impact of your actions on your fellow directors or shareholders as well as the people who work for you, buy your products, live in the vicinity of your production facilities or along your distribution channels. It also implies avoiding unsustainable impact or damage to our wider environment.
